Fans Speculate Selena Gomez's New Song, "Wolves," Is About Lupus

Thanks, Google Translate.

There are still two days until Selena Gomez's latest single, "Wolves," will hit the airwaves, but some fans are convinced that they've already figured out what it's going to be about. The "Fetish" singer announced the song last week and since then, Twitter has been abuzz with speculation that its title is a reference to something very personal to Selena: her battle with Lupus.

BuzzFeed (and a lot of people in the comments section of Selena's social media feeds) points out that the word "wolf" in Latin is "lupus." (A quick search on Google Translate confirms it.)

Selena went public with her battle with the disease in 2015. And over the summer she revealed in an emotional Instagram post that she received a kidney transplant from her friend Francia Raísa due to complications from the autoimmune condition. In the post, she hinted at wanting to share more about her journey with the disease, which she notes is still "very misunderstood."

"I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you," she captioned the photo from September 14. "Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery." Could "Wolves" potentially be the "until then" that she was hinting at?

The song, which comes out October 25, was written in collaboration with EDM producer Marshmello and is the third single off her upcoming album, after "Bad Liar" and "Fetish." On Monday, Selena teased a few of the lyrics on Twitter, writing: "I've been running through the jungle, I've been crying with the wolves." This might be a reference to some of the hardships she's faced throughout her disease, or it might just be a coincidence. Selena hasn't officially confirmed anything, so we won't know until we hear from her.

Meanwhile, fans have chimed in on Twitter. One wrote, "I’m beyond proud of Selena. She’s using her music to help spread awareness about Lupus. She’s such an angel."
